    Katsidis wasn't "exposed"

    It never ceases to amaze me how many people throw this word around after a guy loses a fight.

    Katsidis lost to Diaz, no doubt. I gave Juan Diaz 11 rounds and Michael Katsidis 1 (the 8th). There were a few very close rounds late that could've gone either way.

    Katsidis was just out of his element. He wasn't exposed. He gave it his all and just couldn't beat the better technician. He'll still do well against a few of the other 135lb'ers out there IMO. Diaz was just a better technician.

      Yeah Katsidis didn't get exposed. If people had seem him fight before they would know what he's all about. I thought the fight would be closer than the way I saw it (10-2 Diaz), but I figured that's how it would go if Diaz didn't have any effects from his last fight.

        I haven't seen it yet. But it's only a matter of time before it starts coming up. A guy could drop a decision 115-113 and all of a sudden he's "exposed" around these parts.

            Katsidis is better off fighting the David Diaz's of the division. Juan Diaz is simply on another level.

              Katsidis vs. David Diaz would be epic.

                Yup Katsidis would be a good gatekeeper of the lightweight division...I feel he wasn't himself though, too timid in the early rounds, and didn't go as much to the body like when he went against Casamayor. Still, showed a good account of himself no shame in this loss.

                  I agree with everything you wrote including the scoring.

                    I don't know what Katsidis was doing trying to fight Diaz at range, he basically gifted him the first 6 rounds.
